HBO’s The Corrections won’t fly

HBO has decided not pick up The Corrections, the multi-part TV series based on Jonathan Franzen’s novel of the same name. The pilot starred Ewan McGregor (Star Wars, Angels & Demons) and Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight), along with Chris Cooper and Dianne Weist. The disappointing news comes via an article from The Hollywood Reporter which calls the show a “pricey adaptation.” Whether or not HBO decided against the show because of cost is unconfirmed. However, the premium network did just acquire the rights to True Detective starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
